eBay buyer question

***If replying directly to my email address, please remove the "00" from the

Hi everyone - your help is appreciated with this situation.

I'm a very infrequent seller - mostly a buyer. Recently I put up a couple
of cards with a BIN. A guy went ahead & bought both of them with the BIN
and then immediatly paid with PayPal. In checking his feedback (good
rating), I notice this is his standard operating procedure. Great! I email
him, leave him positive feedback, and wait for his response. I need him to
email me his address.

Couple of days go by, and no response from the buyer. Over the next several
days, I zip him off several more emails, asking him to please verify his
address. I do a little research, go to my PayPal account and find that he
has an unverified address. So here's my question. I don't feel real
comfortable with sending his cards to an unverified address. Would any of
you do that, and call it good? Or should I email some of his past sellers
and ask them what address they sent to? Or is there a way to get a verified
address from eBay? Again, I sell very, very infrequently, so I'm not sure
how to proceed. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Request his contact info (Search / Members / Contact Info) to get a phone #
& give him a call. I wouldn't send unless he confirms his address. You can
also compare eBays address with Paypal's & if they match you may feel safe
enough sending. Strange that he doesn't respond to emails since he responded
right away with bid & payment.

1) I have an unverified mail address on Paypal. In fact, I have a
few.
2) He's paid through PayPal, and PayPal has given you an address to
send it to.
3) Perhaps he's on vacation or something for a few days. Waiting a
couple more days won't hurt anything.
4) He should at least reply to the e-mail, but you should send the
item anyway in a few days.

Being "Verified", and having a Confirmed Shipping address are 2 different
things. It is much more important that he have a Confirmed Shipping address,
then he be verified. If you ship to an unconfirmed shipping address and there
is any problem, you lose the cards and the money. Even if you have delivery
confirmation, if you ship to an unconfirmed shipping address you lose. PayPal
is very strict on this.....accepting any PayPal payment with an Unconfirmed
shipping address puts the seller at risk of losing cards on money.

thanks very much for your advice. I did that eBay search you mentioned and
got his phone number - I'll try that tomorrow. The search didn't give me an
address to match with PayPal's though. Hopefully the guy is just on
vacation, thus explaining why he hasn't responded to any of my emails.
